![]() The documentary series Louis Theroux Weird Weekends sees Louis go into different lifestyles or topics to see what they are like and give us (the viwer) an insight to something we wouln't normally. Usually the topic has controversial views or is quite negatively portratyed in the media. For example there are episodes on Wrestling, UFO's, Porn, Body-building, Swingers. Louis Theroux Weird Weekends - Series 2 Episode 2 "Swingers". Louis travels to South California and meets a couple who host Swinging parties. The way the show is set up is to mock the people involved but in a sarcastic way so Louis gains knowledge of the subject. There is a sarcastic tone involved which makes the viewers engaged and gain knowledge on a sensitive or frowned about subject. The title sequence from the start is set up to mock as it is very happy and quite witty with Louis walking round the world like he is James Bond in the opening sequence - when clearly Louis isn't as he is quite a skinny, tall and intelligent man. It follows some codes and conventions of doucmentaries such as Voice of God, Interviews (it is mainly based round interviews), Archive footage, Stock footgage, non-diegtic/digetic sound. It has helped with my understanding of my documentary and how I want mine to come across to viewers.
